This inner image is an idea generally planted in our early childhood by the environment we are surrounded by, determining how we see ourselves.
The conversation you have with yourself when looking in the mirror is the most meaningful and life-changing conversation. Learning to accept oneself with grace and gratitude is key.
The importance of self-reflection in understanding one's values and how they want to live in the world, and how this affects the way we raise our children to become fully realized individuals.
The speaker explains how he changed himself from the inside out in order to become more confident and learn to love himself. He shares how he faked confidence until it became a part of who he was and how this helped him to overcome bullying and improve his life.
